[Verse 1] Red clay dust on a Chevy dash Windows down, yeah we made it last Old two-lane through the hills and bends Nowhere to be, just me and my friends Screen door slam, mama callin’ me in Supper’s hot but the sun ain’t dim We were raised on “yes ma’am,” “no sir,” please And a little bit of faith on our knees [Pre-Chorus] Didn’t know it then, but lookin’ back now That little life sure made me proud [Chorus] Out here in the mountains of Tennessee Where the stars shine down like they’re free And the days roll slow like a river winds Yeah, that’s where it all begins With a dirt road, a prayer, and a back porch breeze Just me, these hills, and Jesus and me Ain’t rich in gold, but I got everything In the mountains of Tennessee [Final Chorus] Still got those mountains of Tennessee Running wild in the heart of me No matter how far these wheels might go That’s the only place I know With a dirt road, a prayer, and a back porch breeze Still talking slow with Jesus and me Yeah, I found my way, but I still believe In the mountains of Tennessee
